RE: What price drops?

The A2 can be found for $250 or less if one looks. They will get cheaper too. The third generation players (3 models) will all be less than $500 list. The Chinese made Venturer line should be coming out in Q4, listing for (hopefully) less than $200.

>>>Toshiba/HD DVD may be trying to look after the US but they don't seem to give a damn about the market elsewhere. I've yet to see a HD-DVD player in a shop, I've seen discs in only one location. I've seen BD players in a number of shops and discs in a number as well.<<<

There's a reason for that-here's a rough breakdown of the HDTV market:
US: 60%
Japan: 20%
Europe: 10%
Other: 10%

Australia has about 250,000 HDTVs. To put that in perspective, Florida- America's wang, has more HDTVs.
Enjoy,
Jack
